[Andrew Morton]

The quilt patch titled
     Subject: tools/mm: add madvise tool
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     tools-mm-add-madvise-tool.patch

This patch was dropped because an updated version will be issued

------------------------------------------------------
From: Kiryl Shutsemau <kas@kernel.org>
Subject: tools/mm: add madvise tool
Date: Thu, 4 Sep 2025 18:57:29 +0100

Add a simple tool that allows to issue an advice on a process or a file.

It can be useful to experiment with effects of an advice on a workload
without modifying the workload itself.

Only supports advices available for process_madvise().
